The fully loaded cargo ship that ran aground in the Chesapeake Bay as it left Baltimore nearly two weeks ago is still stuck, and folks who work in Marylandâs seafood industry are worried about the impact it is having on marine life.
The grounded ship, called the Ever Forward, is owned by Evergreen Marine Corp., the same company that blocked the Suez Canal with a stuck ship last year.
The Ever Forward has not moved since March 13. It was headed to Norfolk, Virginia, and ran aground in water 24-feet deep, the U.S. Coast Guard said. A salvage company began dredgingâdigging around the shipâon March 20, and is expected to continue until next week.
